In the world of real advancements in terminal development, Plan 9 had come up with Blit and drawterm in the 90's -- so why haven't we made it back to there yet? the answer mostly lies in the lack of simple drawing primitives in X, the TTY interfaces, etc. People like this warp.dev guy come along every few months and poo-poo everything because secretly they do not want to learn it (and neither do we, really!). But nobody really comes along and tries to fix the termcap-brained mindset we still have when considering terminal design. It seems like after everyone got 256-colour and 24-bit colour support we have just accepted the state of things. |
